How it works

Here at Catalyst we have made it our business to make processing your refund as quick and easy as possible.

We have a simple to use, no fuss system that does all the hard work for you, helping to maximise the returns to businesses across NZ. Your first claim can go back the last two years’ worth of use.

If you need a hand to get started one of our consultants can come out and complete your claim for a one off site visit fee of $149 + GST that will be deducted from your initial refund. They deal with all the paperwork so you don’t have to.

If your refund is less than 250 litres a quarter a $30 + GST processing fee may be applied.

Here is how to get started on your two year refund:

Send us your documents

Send us your signed forms, proof of GST, deposit slip and completed machinery list. If we have a partnership with your fuel supplier we will access your invoices on your behalf. If not, we will need you to send your invoices to us via email fax, or post.

Relax

Sit back and relax while your dedicated Account Manager takes care of your refund. They will complete the 8 quarterly claims involved with an initial refund and take care of any technical queries that may arise from NZTA.

Spend your refund

Think of what to do with your refund! Your refund is paid out the same week we get paid so you can put that money back into the business or take a hard earned break. We take a small commission off your final refund amount. We take 17.5% + GST if you purchase petrol through one of our fuel partners or 19.5% + GST if not.

On-going quarterly refunds

Every quarter NZTA require you to answer three questions about your business and to supply invoices to prove your petrol use for the quarter.

If you need any help with how this works just call 0800 47 37 27 and one of our team will be happy to talk you through the process.

Here is how easy it is to complete your refund every quarter:

Quarter check questions

Answer your three quarter check questions from the link in our email that is sent out at the beginning of the quarter or in response to the text message that is sent not long after. If you have a bulk tank there will be four quarter check questions. If we don’t hear back from you on either of these communications we will give you a call later in the month.

Invoices

If we have a partnership with your fuel supplier we will access your invoices on your behalf. If not, you will need to send these through to us by email, fax, or post.

Sam Morrah / Sheep and Beef Farmer

Couldn’t have been simpler, two phone calls and a text… then a deposit in my bank. My accountant said it wasn’t worth it, but the refund nearly paid my accountants bill.

William Moylan / Sheep and Cropping

It’s money for jam really, we receive a phone call each quarter, email off our 3 statements and wait for the payment which is always super quick.
